I started the year off with the best intentions regarding healthy living. Now that it’s officially mid-year, I am disheartened to report that I find myself way off the mark in regard to my goals. After battling health issues since February and often turning to “comfort food” when wallowing in self-pity, I am feeling laden with processed foods, chemicals, refined sugar, fats, and flour. What better time to do a healthy eating revamp!? I was originally contemplating embarking on a full-on food detox, but I’ve opted to create a simple healthy eating plan instead. I drew on a few different sources for recipes and I will be posting them as I progress through the remainder of the month, so stayed tuned! Here’s what’s on deck…
BREAKFAST
Strawberry-Grapefruit Smoothie
AM SNACK
Apple Slices with Cinnamon Almond Butter
or
Grab ‘n’ Go Trail Mix
LUNCH

PM SNACK

A Vegetarian Cooking Blog
The art of keeping a "scrap cookbook" has been passed down by the women in my family. I learned from both my granny and my mom. A scrap cookbook is essentially a scrapbook for your kitchen. A place to keep favorite recipes, ones you plan to try in the future, and ones given to you by friends and family. It is also a place to stash cooking guides, kitchen tips, recipe adjustments, food gift ideas, etc., and to make notes about food-related happenings, (ie: "Baked these cookies for the holidays and everyone freaked their freak!"). This blog is essentially an electronic version of my scrap cookbook.
I am a just a vegetarian girl who loves to cook and who is often asked to share recipes or provide advice as to good sources for recipes. Since I'm big on the procrastination celebrations, and typically never end up getting recipes to people, I decided to start this blog as exercise in self-discipline and a way to keep all my cooking and kitchen stuff in one place.
My intrigue with all things culinary began in my Granny’s kitchen at a very young age. I fully believe that you learn the most about cooking from others, so I hope that is the case as you peruse my blog.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy! ♥
